House of Consciousness/Jikoni Cafe
633 W 35th St, Norfolk, VA
Crema's Take
“This Afrocentric sanctuary in Norfolk serves exclusively vegan fare that converts even the most devoted meat-eaters, with standouts like their viral vegan milkshakes and surprisingly craveable Vegan Philly cheesesteak that justify the drive. Beyond the impeccable food, the space itself radiates intentional warmth—clean, open, and genuinely cozy—while the staff treats every visit like reconnecting with friends rather than a transaction. It's the kind of hidden gem that feels like discovering something precious, where excellent coffee and creative vegan cuisine meet genuine hospitality and cultural pride.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

A very clean, open and relaxing place. All food and special dishes are vegan! Their vegan milkshakes are worth the 30 minute drive!

Easy 10 out of 10 ! The yummiest vegan food I have EVER had ! && I'm excessively particular so that says more than a little bit. Mad flavor, beautiful space, beautiful service. Will visit every time I am in Norfolk!
This is truly one of Norfolk’s hidden gems. But not for long, I’m telling everybody I know about this fabulous place. This is vegan food at its absolute best. And if you want to see customer service and customer appreciation in action? Just drop by and grab some food. You can…
